P bass pick guard choices

[v1paul]

I feel like changing the pick guard on my Squier P bass. Its red and currently has a plain white pick guard which I think looks nasty (no offence to anyone else who has em) but what colour should I replace it with? Pictures would be appreciated to give an idea of what it would look like.

NOT CAR but close WHITE PEARL

When in doubt Google
Im rooting for the gloss black looks sick
especially with black pickguard screws and black barrel knobs

i would say black or pearl.
the tort is too close to the same color as the bass, and so imo looks a bit icky. you want one with a nice contrast.
which one of the two depends on the look you're going for, pearl for a more traditional look and black for a more modern/edgy appearance.
personally i would say black.

White pearl is my choice. I made this pg from Stew-Mac multi-ply material.

Black FTW

Red tort, matching headstock, and you have a bass I would have sex with.

i like red or brown tort

 

[pigsonthewing]

I think tort on red looks not so good.
Black or Chrome on the other hand, bass ecstasy.

I think any white pickguard would look roughly 2.3 hojillion times better if it's swapped with a pearloid one. But that's just white, maybe cream. The other pearloid colors don't look anywhere near as nice.

Don't mean to hijack, but do ou know if a standard P pick guard will fit hole for hole on an old Peavey Fury?

I think I would go with black too, but solid black plexiglass. This place has all kinds of insane plexi pickguards that would look great with red, and they'll do solid black for $50.

All pgs are .125 plexiglass, with polished edges, a classy touch. That's why Rics look so nice.

I 2nd the nomination for black screws. I think I'd keep the chrome control knobs, if everything else is chrome.

They do plexi at www.pickguardheaven.com. but I don't know if they polish the edges.

As long as we're pimping specific stores... you'll never get any better customer service that you do from Invalid Link Removed.

Most are under $30, and they're great to work with...

I've purchased a few from WD Music and found them to have a good Fender selection. Invalid Link Removed
